Topics Discussed Over The Rive" /"

The young man should be active in
borough politics. 1t is a good school in
which to practice the duties of citizenship
But he should determine TO be a reforming
element. There isn't borough office
worth doing anything dishonorable to get,
and he will find II far more honorable and
profitable in the long run to be purifying
element in politics and thus from the low
est round on the political ladder, which
leads to fame and prominence, the young
man will be clearing the way for the honest
and faithful performance of the duties of
citizenship and making politics duty to
be observed by all without fear of contain
ination. There is no question but what
political matters of to-day can in great
way be purified, can be made higher, nobler
and grander in all elements, but while the
power which holds full sway at this time is
at the helm the political barges Of all par
ties are bound to be tainted with the foul
ness of bossism and corruption. With the
young men coming into power, new ideas
will spring forth, better and more liberal
measures for the improvement and adj
vaneement of towns and cities will be the
result. The young man knows his power,
let him assert it. and then publication of
the ballot will cnsue.

The long talked of fistic encounter be-

and Tom Ilyer, Jr., also of this place, was
decided on the outskirts of town last night
After the usual hand-shaking and form
alities, time was called at p. m. Both
youngsters promptly responded. No SOON
er did they come together than Dempsey,
Jr., let out his left and reached Hyer, Jr.,
in the small ribs. Both youngsters became
wary. Hyer, Jr., then made lead and
reached. Dempsey Jr., got his left in on
Hyer, Jr., who promptly responded with,

Farley's Trade Report.

PHILADELPHIA, FEB, 2, 1887.
General trade gives evideRce of in. prove
ment, and the situation is decided advance
upon that Of a week ago. The spring out.
look indicates a large demand from points
south and central west, and there is a
brisk activity in preparation TO meet the
call of buyers, many of whom are now
here.
The money market has ample capital te
meet all wants, and the financial situation
is easy.
Flour is dull and weak to sell. The grain
market is quiet.
The coal situation is not as active as q
week ago. Coal is accumuIating at tide.
water, the Reading reporting nearly one
hundred thousand tons at tidewater. The
demand for all sizes, however, Is good. II
is considered that the output for this month
will be fully as large as in January, unless
the strikes OF the coal trimmers and hand
lers should extend to the mining regions.
Adviees from the Wyoming coal field indi-
a hearty sympathy for the strikers. and il
is thought that trouble Is brewing here.
The situation In the iron trade isun-
changed. The oYersold condition of SO
many iron and steel making establishments
is, and must fora long time continue to be,
the strengthen that industry. Consumers
Of iron In all its farms appear to be full OF
work, and are taking materials in such
quantities as 10 keep mills aud furnaces
employed to their utmost capacity. Indi-
cations are all in favor of continued activity.
Firm and higher prices are expected.
Shipbuilding is also assuming some of its
old-time proportions, and bridge building
and structural work make heavy demands.
The steel rail market is steady and un-
changed.
A veto of the Interstate Commerce bill
would whoop the stock market. Other
wise the lists are not specially active, the
public posing as observers of passing events.

assesses over and around my neck and throat,

bloody matter disgusting TO behold, and
almost intoerable to endure. It is impossible
to fully describe my sufTerlngs, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years OF misery, having been treated by
three physicians, was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation of W. J.
nuntley, druggist, of LockPort, was induced
TO try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees and
